Was at the match yesterday...

Fulham took there chance, that's all really.

First half, it was very even and the quality of play was very average to say the least, poor standard in general.

Second half was a bit more entertaining, we both created chances(Best's header & Ranger's powerless shot).

My personal ratings :

Harper 7 - Didn't have a lot to do, made a couple of good saves, decent performance.
Simpson 6 - Average display.
Colo 7 - Won many headers, looked OK, although Johnson managed to get in behind him a couple of times, decent performance.
Willo 6 - Looked shaky at times, Okish display.
Enrique 8 - So consistent.. strong display, made good runs, defended very well and looked strong in all departments.
Barton 6 - Not his best display, lacked that ''spark'', I guess he's best in the middle were we lacked creativity and ''fighting'' spirit, just generally didn't look himself.
Nolan 6 - Average display.
Guthrie 6 - Average display, made some decent passes, but isn't the quickest, isn't very combative(Murphy ran rings around him), doesn't provide a physical presence and to be honest doesn't look like a regular EPL midfielder, OK to have on the bench though(thank god for Tiote).
Guti 6 - Made some good runs, although as always losses the ball, gets into a mess or doesn't make his mind up!
Best 5 - Wow, looked very average indeed, didn't win a single header, although he did manage a little trick in the second half to beat Hangeland, didn't look nowhere near like a premier league player here.
Ranger 5- Didn't look up to it, he always needs to learn not to give up and it seems when things aren't going his way he gets frustrated and starts being a ''Heskey'', going down so easily, not putting his weight about, not winning the 50-50's, not putting the Fulham defence under pressure and lacking in ''real quality''. Potentially he might become a very good player, but that's about it, doesn't look like he's going to be better than Carroll.

Subs :

Lover - N/A

Crowd was brilliant! ''Your support is ***ing ****'', ''Toon'', ''Jose''...

''Come on Fulham'' ... and ''**** Andy Carroll''

 

Harper was my man of the match like

 

Good to see Lover staying for a bit & clapping to show the crowd respect and admiration!

May not be the player he was, but he's a good pro & a hard-worker.

 

We need Tiote back so badly. The 3 games he's been away we've scored 2 goals. He's absolutely vital for link up play and gives us another dimension.

 

The only one that did.
